DJKOSIAK
Biography of Jeremy P. Caulfield
One of Toronto's most prolific and admired techno and tech house DJs, Jeremy has held some of the city's top residencies. Including the legendary Fukhouse at Industry; Blue, and Mission. Recently Jeremy has quietly infiltrated the global ranks of the minimal and techno scenes with a rough, edgy and immediately recognizable sound. Tricky, stalking and complex, Jeremy's productions follow a theme that defies the typical stereotypes of today's techno. His live sets have crept up to grace the dance-floors at this year's Mutek festival in Montreal and the Transmediale Festival in Berlin and his growing list of productions are featured on labels such as WMF, Trapez, and Dumb-Unit; the label he runs out of Berlin. Distributed through Germany's esteemed Kompakt, Dumb-Unit, has quickly grown to become one of the most respected and consistent of Canadian labels.

Biography of Heartthrob
Jesse Siminski, Aka HEARTTHROB was born in 1976 in Northern Michigan. He discovered dance music through a musician father and relative who owned a record store. Early Prince, Kraftwerk's 'Tour de France' and Laid Back's 'White Horse' were three of Jesse's childhood favorites. As a teen in the early nineties, he discovered the Midwest Rave scene, traveling to Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis and Milwaukee to hear the unique sounds of the area. This is where he first hear and connected with the music of Richie Hawtin, Drop Bass Network and Communique Records-pioneer of minimal acid and techno. Their dynamic and challenging aesthetic had an impact. Shortly after Jesse became determined to make his own music and started collecting gear and recors. In 1999 Jesse moved to New York City where he continued to experiment with music as well as contemporary art. New York's small minimal scene brought him to Magda and Troy Pierce, who would become friends and sources of inspiration (musical and otherwise). Shortly after Richie Hawtin moved into the neighborhood and a friendship with the Minus family was established. The first public exposure of his music was during Magda's seminal dj set at Mutek 2003.
Jesse uses his productions to explore the intersection where tradition and innovation cross as much as aesthetics and concepts. Where the ideal is function and entertainment as well as experimentation and emotion.
Jesse has releases and remixes (past and forthcoming) on Minus, Underline, Contexterrior, Alphahouse, UnFoundsound, Mos Ferry, Get Physical, Wagon Repair, Tora Tora Tora, Phonocult, Esperanza and Stock 5 amongst others. He has been hosted to play at venues such as, Mutek New York City, Fabric (London) Popkomm at Watergate (Berlin), Volt (Amsterdam) and Batofar (Paris).
Jesse now lives in Paris and is working full-time on music production and live performance.
